Who mourns for the Dog-less? ( I do )

Pictured here is my lovely friend Jennifer at a NYC dog park with Snoop the adorable-dappled-dachshund-doggie. (say that 5 times fast) One may think gazing at this pic that Jen is an adoring pet guardian, alas behind this sunny exterior shines a glaring and sad truth.... Jen is dog-less. Yes, Snoop is just a friend's dog that Jennifer was providing weekend care to and being a wonderful care provider she brought Snoop to the dog park for some exercise and socialization. This whole scenario brings a spotlight to a problem I have yet to see Oprah tackle...people who want dogs badly and are dogless. Where is the justice that irresponsible idiots just trot off to the pet shop and buy dogs without a second thought and wonderful potential dog guardians like Jen are without four paws of love? Who knows the anguish Jen goes through as she walks the streets of New York and sees happy guardians walking and romping with their four pawed children? Her clothes don't have hair all over them, her shoes are un-chewed, she's never had a leg cramp from sleeping in a pretzel position to accommodate a furry child stretched across the bed. Sigh. I mean they have support groups and a whole section of self help books at Barnes & Noble for people who are child-less, but nothing for the dog-less! I think I will start a movement! Sure Jen is researching and waiting for the time to provide the perfect forever home for a dog which is the responsible and ideal thing to do, but who addresses her pain until that day comes? Oh the humanity. Supporters of the dog-less unite!
